Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including http://www.aslanpharma.com/drug/aslan001/

Varlitinib (Alternative Names: ARRY-334543; ARRY-543; ASLAN-001; Varlitinib tosylate) is a small molecule based reversible pan-HER inhibitor of EGFR, HER2 and HER4. In response to the binding of various ligands, these kinases undergo heterodimerisation and homodimerization, resulting in activation of numerous growth factor signaling pathways, by inhibiting the activation of the HER receptors via drug, effects such as shrinkage of the tumor and longer survival can be anticipated. In a large variety of cancers, the overexpression and/or constitutive activation of EGFR and HER2 are often observed and frequently correlate with poor clinical prognosis. Licensed from Array BioPharma with global rights for all indications, varlitinib is being developed as first-in-class drug for cholangiocarcinoma, gastric and colorectal cancer, and as best-in-class drug for breast cancer.

Sample Use Guides

starting dose: 300 mg BID (two times a day); target dose: 400 mg BID; dose modification by investigator allowed between 200 mg BID to 500 mg BID
Route of Administration: Oral
Lung cancer cell line NCI-H460 and its ABCG2-overexpressing NCI-H460/MX20, as well as the ABCG2-, ABCB1-, and ABCC10-overexpressing transfected cell lines were used for the reversal study. ARRY-334543 (VARLITINIB) (1.0 μM) significantly reversed ABCG2-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) by directly inhibiting the drug efflux function of ABCG2, resulting in the elevated intracellular accumulation of chemotherapeutic drugs in the ABCG2-overexpressing cell lines. In addition, in isolated membranes, ARRY-334543 stimulated ATPase activity and inhibited photolabeling of ABCG2 with [(125)I]-iodoarylazidoprazosin in a concentration-dependent manner indicating that this drug directly interacts at the drug-binding pocket of this transporter. ARRY-334543 (1.0 μM) only slightly reversed ABCB1- and partially reversed ABCC10-mediated MDR suggesting that it exhibits high affinity toward ABCG2.
